“The really impressive things is that Mohammed Jameel, our president, is involved day-to-day.  His level of understanding, expertise, involvement, encouragement – he’s such a creative guy.  I mean, the comparison I could draw is a bit like Richard Branson, if you’ve ever read his books, in the way that he leads, and he doesn’t really worry about they say the complication in doing something.  Actually, he can boil it down into really simple compartmentalized things; Mohammed Jameel does that in exactly the same way.

It gives you the empowerment, which I suppose is what we all want. We want that that kind of feeling that we’re in control and that we can create something that’s quite quite long-lasting and a I suppose, yeah, part of the infrastructure of a ALJ.

The thing you’ve got going for you is you’ve got real intelligent people.  I mean, we’ve got some of the best people here from their backgrounds whether it’s finance, purchasing, you know, management.  They’re all here.  And it means that, you know, collectively you’ve got the power in the room to solve a problem.  Or someone’s experienced a problem.  So, I think it’s really . . .  that’s what makes the organization enjoyable, then also I say, yeah, really kind of exciting to work I suppose.

Really the power of ALJ is that it can, kind of, unify its resources and,  give people that empowerment because as a project owner, I’m nowhere near as skilled enough to bring this together, but you’ve got this power below you that enables it, and it’s really, I guess, very rewarding when it all comes together nicely.

Which, doesn’t mean it’s any easier to do it here, but it does mean we definitely know how to problem solve and deliver on the objective, which I think execution is key to us – and delivering on time is really what it’s all about.”
